| Abstract | This volume is a collection of 20 papers and case studies from the DFID-funded research project “Regulating Public and Private Partnerships for the Poor”. The project aimed to give regulators the necessary legal and technical tools to achieve effective pro-poor urban water and sanitation services under a Universal Service Obligation (USO). Within this context, the project investigated the role of small-scale, alternative providers and customer involvement. The first of the 20 papers deal provide an overview and literature review of economic regulation of water and sanitation services, particularly for the poor. This is followed by a series of 11 city case studies from Europe (UK), Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile), Africa (Ghana, Uganda and Zambia), Asia (India, Indonesia and the Philippines) and the Middle East (Jordan). The remaining papers include a report on an e-Conference on “Regulating for the Poor”, and 5 summary topic papers on alternative providers, customer involvement, technical tools, legal tools and USO guidelines. In 2008 an edited version of the papers was published by Earthscan, entitled “Regulating water and sanitation for the poor : economic regulation for public and private partnerships”. |
